" merchandise the cotton produced

by the many thousands of cotton growers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 

Our members provide a ready market for the producers' cotton

and maintain a steady supply of cotton for textile mills around the world. 

We underwrite the risk from the time and the place

the producer elects to sell his product

until the time the foreign or domestic customer requires delivery.

It is our responsibility to deliver the cotton

as efficiently and as economically as possible,

and at the same time permit the producer to realize

the maximum return for his effort. "
